How Can Users Fix Outlook Not Receiving Gmail Emails?

1. Check Gmail’s POP/IMAP Settings

2. Delete Email Rules

3. Free Up Inbox Space

Outlook mailboxes have maximum size limits that range from 2 GB up to 50 GB in the most recent Outlook 2019. Users can’t receive any emails when they’ve reached their mailbox storage limits. So, some users might need to delete Outlook emails to receive further Gmail messages.

4. Enable Recent Mode

5. Turn Off Third-Party Antivirus Software

Third-party antivirus firewalls can also block users from receiving messages within email clients. To fix that, users will need to at least temporarily turn off the antivirus utilities by right-clicking their system tray icons and selecting disable or turn off options. If users then receive Gmail messages in Outlook after turning the antivirus utilities off, they’ll need to adjust the firewall settings for the software as outlined in the post below.

6. Turn Off the Windows Defender Firewall

Some of the above resolutions might fix Outlook so that it receives all Gmail messages for its users. Remember, however, that there are quite a few notable freeware email client alternatives to Outlook. For example, users can set up Mozilla Thunderbird to be an email client for Gmail.
